By financially supporting conference attendance, Google fosters a more inclusive tech environment. Grant recipients gain valuable exposure to cutting-edge research, network with leading researchers, and present their work. This program strengthens the professional development of underrepresented groups and encourages them to pursue careers in tech.

• At Google, we believe a diversity of attributes, experiences, and perspectives are needed to build tools that can change the world. Everyone deserves the opportunity to pursue a career in computer science and technology, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, disability, or military service. To help break down the barriers that prevent underrepresented groups in computer science from attending leading tech conferences, we're excited to offer Google Travel and Conference Grants for selected conferences in Computer Science and related fields.

• Grants are available in North America for all traditionally underrepresented groups in technology (including, but not limited to, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, persons with disabilities, women, and veterans), in Europe for women in technology, in India and Africa for students who have their research papers accepted at top-tier conferences in Computer Science and related areas.

• Grants will be awarded to the most qualified persons based on application review. Every applicant will be notified of their status according to the time frames specified for the region.
